Hello Frank,

If I understood you correctly, u are uusing the Website solution instead
of Web project one. And in WebSite solution all references are stored in
web.config, not in the reference folder as in the normal project

To solve this u need to convert your website to webproject

FR> I have a solution with a web service as the starting project.  The
FR> web service references other projects in the solution, which in turn
FR> access other assemblies (some of which are in the GAC).  When I run,
FR> VS2005 stuffs a bunch of assemblies (that are 2 or 3 levels removed
FR> from the web service) into into web.config into the
FR> configuration/compilation/assemblies.

FR> This is really annoying.  How can I turn it off?
